Running an app as admin - what does it do?
Hi there :)
If you run an app as admin, what is happening exactly? I searched around a bit, but all I could really find was how to run as admin. I did find this:
Some applications won’t run on Windows Vista because they were designed for earlier versions of Windows. Most of the time, the problem is caused by UAC.
Well, I am asking b/c an app that was having some issues (myself and several others) seems to be ok when the .exe is set to 'run as admin'. I can go into details if need be, but basically, this app was designed for Vista/W7 (or so the dev says), and UAC is off.
Basically looking to find out what is going on with the app, and why it might now be ok.
Thanks!
